It was another sunny day for Chris Frazier, who was returning from the high school's gym where he was training his basketball team. On the way back home, he got a call from one of his close friends who is a owner of a team in the NBA. "What's up? " Chris said. "I want to fire our gm". "why". "Well, I feel like he can't guide our team trough the transition to get young again.I mean he signed another good player in the off season but he is also old". "So why did you call me?" Chris said interestedly. "I want you become to become our gm because I can trust you since we know each closely since over a decade" . Chris happily said" Ok, let me think for a day".

Which team is it? 5 points for each person who gets it right.

Although the Celtics have the pieces to make a run, I don't believe they can go all the way. In my opinion, it is time to rebuild.

I'm curious to see the direction you will take with this.

I do want to rebuild but I like Pierce's and Garnett's game too much, but other then that I don't care too much about the other players. I may trade Rondo( I don't like because he can't hit free-throws, jumps shots,etc)

Today the Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. have surprised the world of basketball , having announced that long time President of Basketball Operations and general manager Danny Ainge has been fired.This move has been incredibly surprising especially since how good the Boston Celtics record has been since 2007, when Danny got the gm spot from Chris Wallace.

Ainge has often been controversial in his role as a Celtics executive, trading popular players such as three-time All-Star Antoine Walker and having personality conflicts with then-head coach Jim O'Brien (which eventually led to O'Brien's departure to the Philadelphia 76ers). However, Ainge kept the support of both the Celtics' ownership group and—perhaps most importantly—legendary former head coach Red Auerbach, who was employed by the team as a "senior assistant" until his death in October 2006.

The 2006–07 Celtics finished with a 24–58 record, second-worst in the team's history. Following the season, Paul Pierce, team captain and face of the franchise, expressed frustration with the team's failures. He requested a trade to a contender if management were unable to acquire veteran talent of Pierce's caliber.Ainge responded with two bold moves that changed the franchise's fortunes almost overnight: the 2007 trades for the Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett and the Seattle SuperSonics' Ray Allen immediately returned the Celtics to the ranks of the NBA's elite franchises for the first time since the early 1990s. Together with Pierce, they formed a new "Big Three" and led the Celtics to the NBA's best record (66–16) during the 2007–08 NBA season. It was the most dramatic single-season improvement in league history (42 wins more than the previous year), and it earned Ainge the NBA Executive of the Year award.

Ainge has had his ups and downs with the Boston Celtics, but most of them have been ups. The biggest reason why he has been fired is because the management doesn't thinks he had what it takes to bring this team young again. Despite the signing of Jason Terry, who can be a great sixth man, the signing did not help them get younger at all.

A man by the name of Chris Frazier has taken up the spot of both President of Basketball Operations and general manager. There is not much information about him except that he is the grandson of Knicks great and NBA h.o.f Walt Frazier. Chris also was a coach of a great high school team in New York. Chris is also a bit too young for those big positions at the age of only 27 years old. At a press conference today has already answered a couple of questions but let's go the live right now.

Q: "What are you're biggest goals for this year?"A: "To get younger but at the same time be a playoffs caliber team, and maybe even a championship caliber team but that's far fetched."

Q: "What do you think about you're current roster?"A: "Our current roster is good no doubt, but were not good enough to be a championship caliber team with this roster and were definitely not a young team, which will probably cause big problems in the the future.

Q: "Ok, last question, what's are you trying to transform this team into to?"A: " Finally last questions( laughs a bit). Well I'm not exactly trying to make this team fast, athletic or something like that. I believe that height matters, and that it can be a really great advantage in today's NBA and we all also know that it takes defense to win championships. So to put this in couple of words, I'm aiming for a young, tall and defense capable team who at the same time can compete for a championship."

I'm really not good with the presentations, so I'm gonna tell you all right now that i will copy the presentations mold from alot of other NLSCers. Sorry for the incovenience . And if you don't want me to use you're presentation mold just PM ME. And any advice would be greatly appreciated

Do not expect Bradley to return anytime soon. After suffering a dislocated shoulder injury during the 2012 playoffs, the Celtics have made it a priority to take their time with Bradley and make sure he comes back a 110%.During the 2011–12 NBA season, he enjoyed much more playing time, and was promoted to a starting role following an injury to Ray Allen. Bradley's scoring output significantly increased during the season, including a career high 28 points against the Atlanta Hawks on April 20, 2012. He also received praise for his tremendous hustle and defense, including memorable blocks on Dwyane Wade and Russell Westbrook, among others. However, Bradley suffered a dislocated shoulder during the 2012 NBA Playoffs. This injury, which led to season-ending surgery,[11] was a significant setback to the Celtics. The Boston Celtics new gm has stated that the Celtics won't ever trade Bradley, except for a all-star caliber player which is unlikely. Don't expect that the Celtics will have great defense until Bradley comeback, KG doesn't has the same defense like he used to, Rondo is the only player who knows how to play it while the other Celtics are average or less. If there is one thing you can expect the Celtics to improve in, is their offense because of the added athleticism.

After a close loss to the defending champions, the Boston Celtics kept their spirits up hoping for a win against the young Milwaukee Bucks which would be their first game of the season. The Celtics definitely proved that they can win against those 500. teams.

After the first quarter, you would have taught that this would be the highest scoring quarter of the game. The Bucks backcourt started off on fire with Brandon Jennings adding 20 points at the end of the first half. Monta Ellis also added 18 points by the end of the first half. Meanwhile at the end of the first half,Pierce and Kevin Garnett added 20 points each while Rondo dished out 10 assists. The score at the end of the first half was 63-69 for the bucks.

The Green took control in the third quarter limiting the Bucks to only score 19 points while they continued their incredible offense scoring 29 points. In the fourth quarter the Celtics kept the lead despite the Bucks convincing runs. The Celtics finished off winning the high scoring contest 136-125. The Bucks shot an incredible 59% from the field while the Celtics shot an outstanding 62% while also hitting 90% of their free-throws.[/center]

What an incredible month it was. Despite injuries to the JET, Jeff Green and Courtney Lee the Celtics have had their best run since the first year of the big 3 where they won 19 straight games winning 15 straight games after a disappointing loss to the Heat. Rondo is playing MVP-like averaging 15.3 assists and already having 2 triples-doubles, the most in the league.Rondo also made history getting a NBA-best 31 assists against the Spure. While Rondo is passing like no other, Paul Pierce is playing on a level that he has never played in and at the same time KG is also having his best time since joining the Celtics. Despite the surprising trade of Brandon Bass to the Bobcats for Hakim Warrick, Jeff adrianand a second round pick. Even tought that Warrick has not made the starting C spot yet, Jared Sullinger has made a huge impact at the 4 spot averaging 15.8 points and a stellar 10.1 rebounds since the trade. Doc Rivers: "He is playing extremely well ever since he got that starting spot after the trade. It just show's you how great of a player he is." The biggest surprise is probably the Celtics offense, where they are averaging the most points/game(113.7/ppg), 2nd best FG%( 503%), best 3PT%( 427%), 2nd best FT%( 817%) and 2nd most APG( 26.1) KG: "Not only our starters are playing great offense, but also our bench player and I've never seen this here,ever."But the Celtics scheduled has been fairly easy since the Bulls were the only championship caliber team they faced.

Conference Standings: The has been real shockers throughout the standing like the Celtics, Bulls, Clippers, Raptors, Warriors amazing record, and the Heat, Knicks, Timberwolves, Spurs, Lakers and Thunder's average or really bad record.
